East Coaster Relocating...., ...To San Francisco! Options

[gfulcher]

Hey All...

It's been a busy past year... self employment, 914 not needing a single screw turned, road trips, and most recently, (as in last week), an engagement to the most remarkable woman I've ever known... But, more change is afoot... Effective this coming Autumn, we are moving from Boston to San Francisco Proper...

I've started looking at real estate, and although there are many options that have garages, the odds are high that I might have to ditch one of my vintage cars - likely the 914 (the VW Thing is still my favorite car), citing space restrictions.

My question is this: are there any of you that know of, or share, industrial garage space - where I could store the 914, parts, tools etc... and have access to wrench?

Also, if anybody knows of any real estate for sale, preferably in the Noe, Cole, Hayes Valley regions, or Pacific Heights / Sunset, Upper Haight - that isn't in excess of say, 850k, I'd be grateful to learn of it!

Anyhow - I look forward to the move, it will enable me to cycle year-round, and the drivin' is fabulous outside of the city!

Thanks in advance,
-greg fulcher

Personally I live in an area of the city called "Bernal Heights" which is a little out of the way, but a very tight knit community and has slightly cheaper real-estate than the well known parts of the city. If you want to grab breakfast or lunch in my hood sometime I'd be glad to show you around. I can put out a ping on a couple of lists and try and find garage space for you too - although if you're not moving until October - it might be bettter to look closer to the time.

Napa is quite a drive from the city (about an hours drive at the very best of times - could be 2 hours at worst) - youd probably want to do that drive IN the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
